Talk comments
Awesome presentation! I especially loved the story of your first encounter with the PHP community.
You talked a bit fast, but your annunciation was great so I was able to understand everything you said.
Lots of overlap with the Clean Application Development, which offered a really good explanation of *why* you should refactor vs. doing a rewrite. This talk used that as a starting point and presented, in good detail, how you identify a good refactor candidate (code smells), strategize your approach, and increment code quality while keeping functionality the same. Adam even offered some suggestions for a way forward from the refactored code he had by the end, pointing out ways to make it even better. Great talk.
Excellent presentation and Josh's usual fantastic work. This material needs to be turned into a book to be sent to first time speakers!
This is one of the presentations I was most eager to hear and was very pleased to be able to attend (sadly, it was only virtually due to an injury). None the less, I found Margaret Staples presentation style approachable and engaging and highly informative. She is well versed on her subject matter and a good command of how to present the material. I took a lot away from her presentation and hope one day to have the chance to buy her a beer (Beer her i believe folks call it/use to call it).
Awesome talk, and great delivery. I was spell bound the entire time.
There's hope? Really? Wait, you actually did that? OK, I'm convinced.
Lots of high-quality detail that answered a lot of questions I've had about NoSQL systems and cleared up lots of confusion. Distinctions were well illustrated and the strengths of each system were brought out so we could all drool over them, which was great fun.
Great window into how Drupal is modernizing. Very approachable for non-Drupal devs.
Totally enjoyed it. Loved the fast talking, the passion, so informative, from start to end, great to hear about all the decisions. Great job! Thanks for doing the talk :)
